September 11, 2016

     Before I start I just want to say that all those people that died on 9/11 to rest in peace.       Anyway, I had to wake up early and go to a Hindu Temple. I to do something called CROP which teaches Indian-American kids about the Hindu Culture. Everyone is divided by their grade and for every grade, they learn something different. My grade is learning about the Human Development. I know your thinking how that has to do with the Hindu Culture. Well this religious women wrote this book about it in INDIAN terms.       For lunch we went to this Mongolian restaurant, I didn't really like it. After that we just when home. I just watched the NFL games, did some homework, & all my requirements.      That's all for today, schools tomorrow.

A Sunday well spent

Today was a very good day because it is my dog birthday and grandparents day. We spent time with my Mom's mom and step dad and our dog Ace came too. We spent time together with grandparents and our dog. I also said happy grandparents day to my Dad's mom and dad. I talked with my grandfather about what they are up to and how their day was going. He said that they were taking care of my aunts dogs. They said they are doing good and the dog are having fun. It was very good to talk to them. After we got back from my grandmother and grandfathers house my friend Trey wanted to hang out. I was ok with that so him, my brother and I did some fun stuff. One of them was play a video game and had fun doing that. We had some laughs and also...

I don't wanna journal dad

I don't wanna journal today. Why are you making me do this? It's stupid. I would rather be messing with my guys than doing this. It's so boring! It's sooooo BORING! C'mon. Aren't we ahead enough that I don't need to do it today? It's hard to journal everyday Dad. Why don't you realize that? I'll do it tomorrow. I'm playing with my guys. I'll journal tomorrow. That's all I have to say about journaling today. Please give me my phone.

     Today I went to the sticks seminar from 10 am to 1 pm. It was being held by Guro Master Melegrito. I had to say the actual stick training was pretty fun. We went over all the sinuwalies (don't know how exactly it's spelled) and some other stuff. We also got a tap if we got one thing done. I got all the sinuwalies and I learned some new stuff like Double Stick. Now my stick has a bunch of tape. After that we went to downtown for lunch and went to a place French place called Crepes. My dad says lot of people like, but I'd say it was okay. The dessert however was amazing. We also went to see our new home. They put in the drywall, but still a month to go before it's finished.       That's all for today. I got CROP early tomorrow...

Grateful for every breath

Wheezing makes you appreciate how effortless breathing used to be. Most of the time we forget about it. I was up most of last night coughing. I could not breath well lying down. Started steroids (which is another reason I was up all night). I was able to do my presentation today. I dosed myself with a lot of medication so I could talk. I crashed once I got home.Spent the rest of the day being still and calmly breathing. I'll see how tonight goes. Bummed that I missed the PMA class.

Sticks and Staff Seminar

Today I went to the sticks and staff seminar at Master Evans' school with Master Malegredo. I thought the stick part was really fun and I was getting really really good at it. It was my first seminar and by the end I already had 7 yellows, 2 blacks, and 2 greens. Yellow means I know the basic sinawalles. Green means I've learned a couple higher sinawalles. I don't remember what black means. I liked the class a whole lot and would go again when he comes back to town.

I survived so all is good!!  Today I was a little over ambitious with commitments.  Was downtown at 7:00 this morning to meet for Purple Pride then ran the race.  After off to North Charlotte for back to back PMAA sessions.  My mind is scrambled right now - -the last hour of the seminar was a blur.  I can not thank Master Dege enough for working with me and being so patient.   Will enter requirements tomorrow.

Friday

 The beginning of my Friday was very very fun. We went to the first ALL PRO DAD meeting that they do at my school. It is when dads take a bit of their work time to spend time with their kids and it teaches us about how dads are important in our lives. It was very beneficial to go the meeting so dads connect with their kids and know that they are a very important part of their life and future. After that we took two science tests and I made the best grades ever. A big fat and happy 100%. I am so proud that I did so well.  Also after school I went to black belt and did some poomsae and some weapons forms. I did stick, staff and some bolo. It was very awesome and I got better on my bolo. Thank you for reading and I hope...

Last two days

Yesterday I didn't write a journal entry I got a little caught up with the panthers game and I actually didn't get to go to bed until around 12:05 and with a 5:20 wake up time I wouldn't recommend it as I am exhausted at the moment. But today I worked with both Master Moon and Instructor Hsin for over an hour today and I was aloud to count those sessions for multiple times. After that I went to my high school foot ball game with some friends and I had a great time! Unfortunately I am having to miss the PMAA seminar tomorrow due to having to take the ACT tmorrow morning into the afternoon and I can;t make the sessions which is bums me out. But this is for my education future and when it is done I will be glad.

Yesterday was MAPS testing for reading, but the exact same thing happened as Wednesday. Our home room teacher was furious about it though.

9/8 Tests

Even though the physical and written tests have been pushed back to the first of October, I am going to continue studying for the written portion. I have all of the answers, so now all I have to do is memorize them. I will also be practicing what I need to do for the physical test. The v-situps will probably be the most difficult part, but I know I will be able to pass both tests.

     Today I was playing football and I have been getting called "Try Hard". They think that I try to hard and its only Two Hand Touch, so I should dial it down a bit. I don't know what they are talking about, I played like that at my old school and nobody had a problem with it. I had 3 receptions, 1 TD, & 1 INT on the first play of the game. Other than that there wasn't anything interesting. We do have a project with a partner, we have to make a Partnership Business. We randomly chose a business and we got a Photography Studio.  That's all today.

Walking Dead game

Today i found the Waking Dead mobile phone game. I downloaded it to my phone and have really enjoyed paying it. It's really easy to pick up and really addictive. Currently I play Dragon City a bunch but now i think this one will be my favorite. I got  a bunch of other gaes at the same time but i haven't even played those yet. To caught up in Walking Dead. I have Darryl who you get early in the game. But Darryl loses his crossbow and you have to get through the second part of the mission for hi to get it back. Maybe dad will let me watch the show now!!!!!!

Sick

I've got some type of crude. Can't tell if it is allergies or a viral upper respiratory tract infection. I suspect the latter. Not wheezing, yet. Did not run today, too sick and I really don't want to trigger an asthma attack. Bummed. Hope it clear before this weekend o I can go to the PMA workshop. Regardless, I'm a strong believer in not spreading my germs, so I won't come if I'm still sick. Don't want to get further behind on requirements, but I cannot afford to make myself more sick. I've pulled out every remedy I know. Regardless, I will be lucky if it only last a week. These are times when I think the virus is the superior life form.  I'll keep doing the best I can....Keep cycling

September 7, 2016

     Today was another boring normal day. But I must say that school goes really fast. There was nothing really that interesting. We had a PowerPoint for all of 8th, it was just about school rules and guidelines. Also funny thing was my friend and he's been trying to get this girl. And he asked one kid if he knew where the girl was and he didn't know. Maybe 20 mins later that kid comes with the girl and he tells her that he wants her. Now this girl doesn't even know who he is (my friend is new) but the thing is my friend didn't want him to get her, he was just asking if she was here. So my friend wasn't even when she came and he had something on the his face. So now all hope is lost of getting that girl.  That's all for today.

MAPS Testing

Today we had Maps testing, but there was a slight problem. Lots of people kept getting kicked out and the teachers and students were getting frustrated, so they decided to suspend the whole grade from testing. This means on a totally seperate day, the 7th grade will be testing while everyone else is doing their normal day routine. To us, I think this is a good thing though, because we don't have to be quiet and we won't have homework the night before.

Testing day

Today was testing day for the Lake Norman area. All of the testers did very well. I am so very proud of my metee to for doing so well at testing. At school I am so happy that D.A.R.E is starting up in few weeks. D.A.R.E is a class that you go to learn about the use of drugs and how they are a danger to you and your life. Plus it gives me extra credit and I get to learn about the dangers of drugs. Win and win for me, plus I have wanted to take D.A.R.E since I was in 4th grade at my new school MIS. I also started to learn about what is the difference between One celled Life forms and multi celled life forms in science. It is a very good thing to be learning about  when you want to be a scientist. It is very...

     Today was the start of school after a long 3 day weekend. School has started to get kinda of annoying. This kid named Tanner who sits next to me started calling me Mr.P for some reason. Now it has started to catch on, people will come up to me and ask if I am Mr.P. There was nothing else interesting about my day. I saw Conner (older one not Conner Foster, also known as Gramps) at Black Belt Class in like years. Other than that it was a typical day.

New Skill

I think I better keep my day job. Took a painting class today. Although I loved the process, I get frustrated when I can't make it look the way I want. I had to keep standing back to get a view of the larger picture instead of getting hung up on the details. I'm coming down with something...not sure if it is a cold or allergies. It really doesn't matter, so long as I don't start wheezing.

The 2nd week is always the week that you start class work and homework. So this time we are really starting [school]. The first thing that we did today was go to our enhancements. My enhancements was foreign language. My language is Spanish, it is a very good language to learn because a lot of people that know this language. After that we did math and then reading. In math we are learning different ways to do two by two digit and three by two digit multiplication. In reading we are talking about context clues and how to be a good reader. Then we went to lunch and came back and did some more reading, then some science. In science we are talking about one celled life forms and multi celled life forms. It is really cool to learn about these forms of life that I never seen before. After school...

Happy Labor Day

Caught up on my tracking. Pleased with how I'm doing, but frustrated because I'm lagging behind. The limiting factor is time. I think it takes me longer to do my requirements than most people...and of course work interferes. Allergies are acting up...fall is one of my allergy/asthma seasons. All I can do is my best. I think it will be good enough. Got alot done today. Did some work at the office to catch up. Weekends should always be three days!

Plus we are also going to watch the football game today. The two teams that are playing today is Florida State and Ole Miss. We are going for Florida State because that is where my dad got his degree. Maybe some day I will go to Florida State and get my degree. Some day FSU some day. Also the first week of school was very good and I would like that to continue for the rest of the year. Oh and I almost forgot that last night we watch a movie called Zoom super hero Academey. It was a very good movie and I enjoyed it. Thank you for rading and I hope...

New Stick Bots

Yesterday I got new stick bots from Target. The colors I got were purple and pink. I bought them because I.....forgot. Why did I get them again?

Today Black Belt class was at the Lake Norman school and we did weapons and palgueys, which got me a lot of poomsaes. Afterwards we did a ton of rolls and falls. Then I had to go to Denver to help clean my grandparents house out so they can move. When I got home I did the rest of my requirements before I went to work.

     Today was the end of the first week of school. I'd say the first week was okay. We were also allowed to sit where we wanted to for lunch. Usually, we have to sit with our Homeroom. Today there was a 2 burglars that broke into a police officers home and stole guns. My sisters school got locked down. Her school gets out 2:15 pm, but they were on lock down until 5pm. My school didn't get locked down, but the buses got delayed. Luckily I am a car rider, so I wasn't affected. I'm also writing this journal pretty late (11:48 pm), that's because we had friends over so I totally forgot.  That's all for today.

FRIDAY!!!!

Today was the first Friday for the school year. And Friday means WEEEEEEKEEENNNNNDDDDD! Tonight iI am probably going to play on my computer with my brother and then fall asleep. And tomorrow I don't have to get up at 6:30. I still have to get up early to go to Black Belt Class but not as early. But it's cool because BBC is in Huntersville tomorrow. That means an easier drive for mom but we won't be right beside the Smoothie King for me after workout smoothie. Wait a minute. There's a Smoothie King by Target. SCCCCOOORRREEEE!

Happy September

This school year is really stressful already. I'm in my sophomore year and the third day of school we got right into work. Today I had 2 quizzes and an assessment. I also had a quiz and an EOC practice yesterday. The day of the black belt test is approaching too and it feels like an 8th class I have to stay on top of. I should be okay but it is stressful!

Buff

It is amazing to me that I have not lost one pound with all this exercising. Granted losing weight was not the point, being healthy was the goal. But it would be nice to slim down....or at least I used to think. My closet system fell down and I am having to build another system. Yesterday I was lifting something and happen to glance in the mirror. I looked buff!!! I may not have lost weight, but I've got muscle. There is a definition to my calves, thighs, biceps and shoulders that was not there before. I'm solid. Also, I've been carrying shelves and panels up and down the stairs without getting short of breath. That is awesome, considering 6 years ago, I was on 5 inhalers and steroids for asthma. I'll take being healthy any day over being sick. I don't care about the weight, I'm thrilled to be so...

September 1, 2016

     Today was kind of a boring day. I didn't do anything actually interesting. I mean we got our laptops from school today. But here these sucky small ThinkPad computers. They don't even work properly. It was also raining so heavy today, that may be the reason that barley anybody came to class. Not even my mentee came today. I got home pretty late from Tae Kwon Do, probably around 9:30 pm. My dad didn't know if my cooked any food, so I got some Subway. When we got home, turns out she actually cooked food. I also watched the 4th quarter of the Steelers @ Panthers game.  That's all for today.
